Our answer, largely put into words by the British newspapers, Is a scornful "NO period!" The robots are coming over in increasing numbers. Churchill is expected to tell the house of com mons about them soon. The Ger mans boast that -they ,arei'mtmu facturlng them In vast quantities, (German boasts are never yery rcuauie.; THE Russians, flowing around I Minsk on both sides, have cut ALL the railroads leading into the city which is supposed to be defended by some 200,000 Ger mans. ' , The Russians continue to tell of Browing demoralization.. of. the German armies around Minsk. Moscow dispatches say: "Thou sands of new German prisoners are being taken. The forests swarm with them. Toward eve ning, the Germans crawl out of the woods and Send delegations to give themselves Up." THE Moscow dispatches add: "Often, where our troops have surrounded the Germans, we find the bodies of German officers and men whom the Germans themselves HAVE KILLED." (That, if true, would mean in stances of MUTINY in the Ger man ranks.) WE must be very caXitious in deed about, accepting these reports o German demoraliza tion. JT they are borne out, they will mean almost certanly the be ginning of the German cud. Similar mutinies in their arm ed forces, both army and navy, signaled the crumbling of Ger man resistance in 1918. So far, the Germans on the eastern front have fought coolly, bravely and skilfully. If their morale REALLY IS breaking at Minsk, It is a new development of the utmost importance. Let's be SURE of it before we believe it. IT Is announced officially that 19 German generals have been killed or captured In less than a jnonlh. Our side estimates Ger man casualties since Italy at 39-1.-000. (Killed and captured, pre sumably, since only the Germans can know the total of their Wounded..) Of the 3M.0O0, the Russians have accounted for 219,000. leav ing 175,000 to have been done In by the Americans and British. If these figures are anywhere near accurate, we're olivlousy begin ning to carry our share of the load. ABOUT 60 per cent of Salpan Is now under our control, and Nlmltz says that 0,013 Japs have been burled and 200 taken prison er. The correspondents on the scene expect a decisive battle with large bodies of Japanese troops soon. THE WASTE PAPER DRIVE By Charles V. Stanton HOW much waste paper do you have .around your home? You probably will be surprised at the amount if you will make a careful search. That paper is needed critically needed in the war effort. It can perform no construe tlve service while remaining piled in your attic or basement or stuck away on a closet shelf. So get it out and send it to war. V The Roseburg Eagles lodge is sponsoring a general col- lectioti Of newspapers and magazines Friday and Saturday of this week. It is regrettable that this collection must be confined to the city of Roseburg alone. There are many tons of waste paper in Douglas county, as a whole, if means of collecting it only could be worked out. Plans to organize county-wide paper salvage drives are now being formed and soon will be ready for announcement. In the meantime every householder should be accumulating all available paper to be turned in at the proper time. The proper time in Roseburg will come this week. Trucks will start making their rounds early Friday morning. As ihe work will be begun before a good many people are out of bed, it is urged that all bundles of papers and magazines be set out Thursday evening. This means you should spend Thursday searching the house from basement to ridgepole to make sure you are including every scrap of waste paper. It is requested that newspapers and magazines be bundled separately. They should be tied into bundles about 12 inches high for convenience in handling, then stacked at the curb line, where they may be picked up easily and tossed into the trucks by volunteer workers. ' I Paper is becoming more and more essential in the war effort. New methods of treating it with various chemicals have enlarged the purposes for which it may be used. Paper ! can now be made waterproof, so that it becomes suitable for containers for perishable foods, ammunition, drugs and other materiel upon which diir armies depend. Containers, made entirely of paper, are dumped into the sea and floated ashore on many of our Pacific islands, Where reels make it impossible to land boats. Paper is converted' into parachutes used for dropping sup plies. Paper containers carry blood plasma to the battle- fronts of the world. There are thousands upon thousands ol uses for paper in the war effort. Some of our normal supplies Of paper have been cut off entirely. Manpower shortages have reduced the output of pulp and paper mills in this country and Canada. Waire discriminations have made it difficult for the industry to secure needed increases in the number of workmen. Newspapers have been limited on newsprint, creatine many difficult publication problems. The only agencies seeming to have ample supplies of paper, to be used indis criminately, are the federal bureaus which fill the mails with their propaganda. But thtire is enough paper lying around the homes of this country to take up the slack in production if salvage opera tions receive deserved cooperation. Doujrlas countv has one of the lowest per capita paper salvage records in the state of Oregon. This is not due to any lack of patriotism. for there is no county having a better record of volunteers for military service, war bond sales and other participa tion in the war effort. Rather it results from a lack of or ganization and, more particularly, to the difficulties of col lection and shipment due to the long distances to be covered. the restriction on use of motor vehicles and the lack of manpower to do the work of collecting and shipping. Conse quently, the task becomes one of individual cooperation, for if many people join in the task, the work will be done tiuick- and with little effort. The start is being made in Roseburg, and soon, we hone will be extended to every other community of the county. It will not be hard for Douglas county to erase its low per capita salvage record and become one of the leaders in the waste paper drive, as in everv oth I' mjlint' Will' . iirtfir providing we all pitch in and help.

But this- Friday, June 30, over Station KRNR, the com mentator, Boake Carter, gave his comments on the Important is sues ol the day -the presidential nominees, close of the war, and others. 1 have no quarrel with him on the former topics. ' At the present time the United States and Argentina are prob ably severing relations, the cause for the break being the action of Argentina in maintaining a nazi state and being In sympathy with Germany. For this we are call ir.a our ambassador home. Now, Boake Carter says our na tion is at "outs" with Argentina over t lit? question of buying beef tnmi them. He says, and I quote as nearly as possible," the United States refuses to take Arcgontine beet because it is dirty and con taminated with foot and mouth disease." Also he says. "I . see I am most decidedly in dis agrecment with him in his sweep ing statements when he says our nation is to blame for the troub le we are having with our south ern neighbor over the question of meat products. My recollection is that the foot and mouth disease swept over tills western country about 20 years ago. Since that time the midwest was plunged Into an ex treme drought. The cattle were o poor and so many died that beef production was unlit for home consump. on. We patroniz ed Argentine beef almost exclu sively during those years. American meat packers, Ar mour, Cudihy and company, have acquired interests in the gl assy plots of the Argentine and pasture their herds there. It seems to me the United States' dealings with our south ern republic have been fair and this is the first time I have hoard of our complaint that their prod uct is unfit to eat. Mr. Carter needs to stand and be corrected on those assertions. Mrs. Caroline Frederick, Myrtle Creek, Ore. SCREEN ACTOR rrsAW- By PAUL JENKINS ?

Faces U. S. Fine of More Than Million SEATTLE. July' ; 5.-(AP) The now bankrupt Columbia Shipbuilding and Drydock com pany of Portland faces a possible penalty of more than a million dollars today as a result of find ings announced his week by a 12th regional War Labor board panel that the company had over paid employes 5565,000 in viola tion of the wage stabilization act. Regional WLB officials express ed belief it Was the largest potential penalty that a panel finding has made possible. Appropriate government con tracting agencies and the bureau of internal revenue will be no tified of the finding, Panel Chair man Clark Kerr said, adding that in past cases the agencies have disallowed such overpayment in settling for contracts and the in ternal revenue bureau has re fused to allow such . deduction from income tax payments. The company, has 10 days in Which to appeal. In Portland, Edward D. Kahl er, trustee for creditors of the company, pointed out that "any penalty enforced now would be a penalty against the innocent creditors, and not against the company or it's officials." The panel opinion, written by Kerr, asserted: "This company paid unauthorized high wage rates, travel time and sustenance to employes. In addition there was an abnormally high propor tion of persons classified as su pervisors. in one classifica tion there were more foremen and lead men than journeymen. Also there was no proof submit ted to the panel to show that any individual man had ever worked the number of hours for which he was compensated." This reference, Kerr said, was to records of consistent payment for 12 hours of work daily with out records to show the hours were worked. heard them yet, but we'll bcri an ear at 1:15 today and tomoi row. Why don't you listen too? we'll compare notes.

By SUSAN Well, here we are back from vacationing and while it's no great pleasure to have a vaca tion end it's fun to get back. Yes, we had a grand time and now we can settle down to work with plenty of energy to run us through until next vacation time if it's not too long. Anyway we got back in time to catch all the swell Wednesday shows. First nighter at 6:30 tonight we haven't had a chance to check' publicity, so we haven't an idea what's cooking, but this is al ways a good spot. Main Lino at 8 o'clock is tops in entertainment and Ole Massa Bulldog Drum mond at 8:30 mustn't be missed either. Looking over the program as of tonight and tomorrow, things seem to have been fairly quiet on the home front during the week we've been gone. All our favorite shows seem to be intact and we note the addition of The Smoothies at 1:15, replac ing Open House.
